Ghoraghat:Social Welfare and Women and Children Affairs Minister Professor Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain emphasized the equal rights of all Bangladeshi citizens regardless of religion or ethnicity, during a visit to the Kadimnagar Sarbojanin Durga Puja Mandir in Dinajpur's Ghoraghat municipality.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dr. Zahid stated that no one should consider themselves weak or a minority, as everyone shares the identity of being Bangladeshi, urging collective efforts to build a humane and inclusive society.
During the visit, the minister criticized political parties for only engaging with citizens during election periods, questioning their motives by pointing out the absence of individuals who guarded Durga Puja mandaps before last year's election. He encouraged the public to evaluate political parties by their actions and urged BNP leaders to build public trust through consistent welfare activities.
The event was attended by Ghoraghat Upazila Nirbahi Officer Rubana Tanzin, local administrative and police officials, BNP leaders, Himangshu Kumar Saha, the President of Kadimnagar Sarbojanin Durga Mandir, and other local dignitaries and party activists.
